15. Testing Paradigms 15 — 74 @tmikeschu
16. bonus word: para-dig-MAT-ic (adj) a framework containing the basic assumptions, ways of thinking, and methodolog[ies] [for discovering new ideas] that are commonly accepted by members of a scientific community.1 1 http://www.dictionary.com/browse/paradigm 16 — 74 @tmikeschu

28. Storytelling and Software 28 — 74 @tmikeschu
29. So!ware is always means to an end 29 — 74 @tmikeschu
30. From function to feature, the end is to help users 30 — 74 @tmikeschu

32. communication context abstraction encapsulation 32 — 74 @tmikeschu
33. Communication 33 — 74 @tmikeschu
34. Users communicate with so!ware. ! 34 — 74 @tmikeschu
35. Let's make good listeners. ! 35 — 74 @tmikeschu
36. Context 36 — 74 @tmikeschu
37. cause && effect 37 — 74 @tmikeschu
38. more context -> 38 — 74 @tmikeschu
39. more understanding -> 39 — 74 @tmikeschu
40. more predictive power -> 40 — 74 @tmikeschu
41. more confident decision-making -> 41 — 74 @tmikeschu
42. more -> 42 — 74 @tmikeschu
43. better teaching and advocacy 43 — 74 @tmikeschu
44. When we tell stories about software, we write it better. 44 — 74 @tmikeschu
45. Abstraction 45 — 74 @tmikeschu
46. Touching a stove Breathing Muscle memory Language 46 — 74 @tmikeschu
47. Encapsulation 47 — 74 @tmikeschu
48. We encapsulate our code, why not our thoughts? 48 — 74 @tmikeschu
49. (Too many jobs makes you bad at all of them.)! 49 — 74 @tmikeschu
50. Code constrains clarity and imagination. 50 — 74 @tmikeschu
51. Tests can be your compass home 51 — 74 @tmikeschu
52. Meta alert! 52 — 74 @tmikeschu
53. · Programs solve problems · Programming is a problem-solving process · The problems we solve solve problems 53 — 74 @tmikeschu
54. Maybe the principles that make better programs can also result in better programming? 54 — 74 @tmikeschu
55. func TestStoryTellingAndSoftware(t *testing.T) { var ( actual []string expected []string ) actual = stopTestingStartStorytelling.StorytellingAndSoftware() expected = []string{"communication", "context", "abstraction", "encapsulation"} if actual != expected { t.Error("Expected talk to cover communication, context, abstraction, and encapsulation, got: ", actual) } } 55 — 74 @tmikeschu
56. Still learning the domain specific language (DSL)? /* description: developers assert: should be mindful of context actual: perspective while implementing expected: developer actual should be the same as expected actual: perspective while testing expected: user actual should be the same as expected */ 56 — 74 @tmikeschu
57. Duality ! 57 — 74 @tmikeschu
58. User <----------X----------> Programmer 58 — 74 @tmikeschu

64. Mad lib 3 Nouns 1 Verb 1 Datatype 64 — 74 @tmikeschu
65. Wrap-up 65 — 74 @tmikeschu
66. Testing is a paradigmatic process, not a product. 66 — 74 @tmikeschu
67. Communication: build good listeners. 67 — 74 @tmikeschu
68. Context: enable confident decision making. 68 — 74 @tmikeschu
69. Abstraction: you're good at it, it opens up doors. 69 — 74 @tmikeschu
70. Encapsulation: apply the same discipline to your process as you do to your code. 70 — 74 @tmikeschu
71. Storytelling keeps you closer to users. 71 — 74 @tmikeschu
72. Action Plan Develop a pendulum workflow between storyteller and developer. 72 — 74 @tmikeschu
